Previous week's update:
MO: 90 min XT
TU: 60 min run (TM), 2000m swim, 30min spin, core
WE: 60 min trainer ride, 30 min XT, 2000m swim
TH: off
FR: 60 min XT, 30 min trainer ride
SA: 90 min spin, 5 mile run, core
SU: 90 min spin, 35 min XT, core
My hip flexor started to feel better by mid week (I have/had a 1/4 inch tear in my psoas major), so on Saturday I decided finally to try out an easy run. Felt OK until about mile 4. The footing is so crappy with all the snow we have, even with YakTrax on, and the hip flexors are definitely working overtime to help stabilize. Noooo bueno.
Also no bueno - I iced my hip/groin area after that run, and totally self-induced frost bite on my inner thigh. I didn't realize it was too cold, because obviously it was too numb to feel! When I took the ice off though, there was literally a hard layer of frozen skin. Hoping the redness goes away in a couple days and I didn't do permanent damage! I've been getting a lot of "oh, frost bite... that's what they call it now?" from my teammates so I'd love to be able to shut that up. :D
Week of 2/7 - 2/13:
MO: 60 min XT, 4000m swim
TU: 90 min spin, 2000m swim
WE: 60 min spin, 60 min run (IF hip flexor agrees)
TH: off / 3000m swim
FR: 90 min spin, 3000m swim
SA: 60 min spin, 60 min run (IF hip flexor agrees)
SU: 120 min spin, core
Main goal is to get at least 3 swims in.... hopefully 4! And only run if it feels good and continues to feel good throughout the run. Will probably stick to the TM just to have the stability of solid ground.
